Ok..I think this is rather obvious but I feel the need to say it..these posts are my opinoin, my experience and my words..not to be mistaken for anyone elses..hehee. These are also my thoughts as they come out, perhaps not so organized and totally chaotic so I love that you read it anyway..this is like my tracy diary of sorts.
Training boosts are little add ons for a problem area..add-ons to what your currently doing..my favorite add-ons are a compiled series of pikes and planks for the abs that are like magic for my abs. As a mother of four..abs have a special place in my heart..they did after all grow to massive proportions 4 times and then hang there pathetically giggling or is it jiggling(in my case probably both) to and fro..they still look VERY interesting when I am on all fours..thank god I am upright most of the day...the reason I say NEVER..not ever..should you look down your body while doing this method..trust me..just love yourself enough to either accept the wierd sharpe like skin down there or don't look at it...don't even get me started on the boobs!!(I love and appreciate my breast..the nourished and nurtured my babies for over 5 years of my life..amazing bags of human gold). They will never be the same, I have come to terms with that..well..mostly. I have added arm webisodes before and abs as well but I have not done any extra legs. This will boost you for a SHORT amount of time..not something to be continued for too long..I do not longer than 20 days..and then I move on to no boosts for awhile..I have not done any boosts since before xmas. But they are great if you can find what works for you!
Resets days and YES weeks. ARE REALLY IMPORTANT!! soo...sooo..soooo...important. At least one day a week is necessary for your nervous system to intergrate the work you are doing. At least twice a year if not more it would be a good idea to take 4-14 day off..enjoy yourself but do not exercise in the traditional sense..;)
Over training. This is something that can happen..really..I am not kidding ;). If you are doing 2 hour workouts..and you want to up your results..what are your choices? Either up your intensity, your reps, your time and your energy. That means even longer more intense workouts will be required in order for you to reach your peak. Now it is perfectly acceptable to train like a mad woman for a period of time..say one month but then you have to take it back to a sustainable attainable workout. This level will be different for everyone. Overtraining can result in injury, loss of sex drive, extreme seriousness(meaning lack of FUN), loss of results(YES you read that right), and illness. The most important skill to hone is the art of truely listening to your body. Are you just tired and feeling lazy or is your body exhausted and in need of a break? Are you really hungry or just sad or pissed off or feeling self pity? Do you really think your body needs that whole entire cake(shanti?)? Are you needing to take a break in order to feel motivated again, take a breather, relax or do you need to step up and kick your own arse? If you listen your body it will tell you exactly what you need, every time, and sometimes that means eating the whole cake because your soul says so.(even if you feel like an elephant the next day ;)).
I know I said I would write about mind set..but well..you know..the four kids thing is kinda loud right now and because I want to give this my full attention..it is important to me..I will wait until tomorrow!
Thanks for hangin in there with me...believe me..if I can do this..so can YOU!!
